Random shit

Here are some riddle type games that you can play for hours if you're cruel. The Green Glass Door (a.k.a. The Green Glass Room.): Basically, tell your friends that there is something called the green glass door, and only certain objects (and possibly actions) are allowed inside of it.
Scary shark mouth container. ... gone fishing - imaginechildhood.com. If there is one thing that says "summer", it's sitting next to a cool river under the dappled shade of a tree with a fishing pole... ... the only problem is we didn't have one, so we decided it was the opportunity to make one.

Starting with a bamboo garden stake... ... and using some old wine corks for the handle, we quickly got to work. With the rod and the handle in place, it was time to find a reel and some rigging for the line. For the rigging we simply screwed in some tiny, evenly spaced eye-screws along one side of the rod (see first picture and make sure to pre-drill the holes if you can, it helps quite a bit to prevent any splitting in the bamboo).

Lã tingida com suco em pó. Preparadas para saber o que aconteceu na semana passada ?

Desta vez, ao invés de repaginar uma blusa de lã eu resolvi ir mais a fundo e reciclar a própria lã de peças de tricô. Explico. Eu tinha dois cachecóis de tricô que estavam encostados no armário.
Giant Atari Joystick Lamp. I didn't have a real joystick to study and measure for dimensions, so I went off of pictures I got online.

I think I got the proportions pretty close though, just through some basic math like height/width ratios, etc. I purchased one 2 by 4-foot panel of MDF in each of the following thicknesses: 1/4", 1/2", 3/4". I also purchased one 2 by 4-foot sheet of 1/8' hardboard. I had plenty of material left over afterward. MDF is great for things like this.
Free textures for your next web project. Traveling Craft Kit. By Future Craft Collective How many times have you been out and about – on the road, at the beach or in the woods with a hankering to get your craft on but no supplies handy?

Which always feels like such a shame, since nature, travel or even being stranded in a train station can provide such endless inspiration for your crafty endeavors. What we’ve discovered in our years of being on the road – both with kids and without, is that an inspired craft kit can provide you with infinite possibilities for creating wherever and whenever you go. Our traveling craft kit is intended to provide endless hours of open ended inspiration. It is intended too, to utilize things you find along the way – be they items from nature or flyer from the lobby of the local welcome center. Your mode of travel may serve to determine the size of your kit – small, medium or large.

With a little soldering and sewing skills you can have your own light up satchel, sure to impress geeky friends. So grab your sewing needle and soldering iron and follow along.
Project: Kokedama String Garden. The first time I saw a kokedama string garden was right here, on Craftzine. Being a bonsai and ikebana enthusiast, I was captivated by yet another amazingly beautiful Japanese gardening method.

I’ve hung my kokedama outdoors, where it sways a bit in the breeze, and I couldn’t love it more. The steps are simple, with the most important aspect being the mixture of clay and soil. Try to achieve a blend of mud that clings together well. When encasing the plant, you will feel a bit like a sculptor, and in essence, you are sculpting the earth into something fairly impossible — a perfectly round hanging garden. Materials Small plant Heavy clay mud, or bonsai soil Potting soil Moss Twine.

SCP-244. Item #: SCP-244 Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: When not in testing, SCP-244-1 is to be placed in a room with its own thermostat, kept at a temperature of no less than 38℃.

This room must also have its own ventilation system to provide constant air circulation. SCP-244-1 will rest on top of a scale attached to an alarm, so that any abrupt changes in weight from SCP-244-1's cap's sudden removal or from SCP-244-1's displacement may be immediately detected. If the alarm goes off, SCP-244-1 is to be immediately retrieved, capped, and placed back on the scale.
Planning and Organizing Blog Posts for the Year. I couldn't resist introducing this post with a shot of our 10" diameter Hibiscus blossom (Hibiscus moscheutos) taken this past summer!

After all, this post is designed to give you a few tools for planning your blog posts for the whole year ahead! Why not a picture of coming attractions? My readers in the southern hemisphere are already enjoying summer, so here is what's around the corner in their future! Diane published our third annual Christmas podcast conversation in December during which I mentioned that I usually have most of my blog posts planned a year in advance.

Now even though, to me anyway, this seems a perfectly normal thing to do, apparently it surprised a lot of listeners and several have written and requested more information about just how exactly I do that!
Stuff Beaders Say. Nintendo DS(NDS) Games,DS(NDS) Roms,DS Movies,game news - Games-Engine.com. Man Crafts: office supply grappling gun. Ever notice how secret agents and spies get all the cool gear?

Well, now you can too! Make your own mini grappling hook out of office and household supplies, then let let loose on a top secret mission from Her Majesty's Secret Service. This grappling hook design was built from the new book Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction 2 (Chicago Review Press) by John Austin*. This book has over 30 mini weapons and gadgets which can all easily be built with office or household supplies, most of which I had on hand already!

I chose to build a personal favourite, the grappling gun.
The Mini Top Hat Tutorial. With only about 30 days left until our trip to Atlanta for Dragon*Con, I've been thinking about what costumes to take.

See Everything. Bow and Knot. Our instructions are for decorating a 3 3/4-inch jewelry box, but you can adapt them to suit any size. Learn the techniques and you can also use the ties on napkins, flower girls' dresses, and more. (The pyramid bow would look especially lovely on the backs of ceremony chairs.) Four-Bow-Box How-To1. Cut four ribbons, about 25 inches each.
DIY Fake Lashes. Need some gigantic eyelashes sometime soon, say, for Halloween, and don’t want to pay almost $10 for them? Well I got the tutorial for you! I found a tutorial on youtube on how to make your own false lashes with just a few materials that most people have around and got to makin’. Materials: Another fake eyelash (this is just to give you a guide at how long you need to make the lash. You could also just take a small piece of paper and measure your eye that way)Eyelash glue (Not everyone will have this item; I didn’t, but it’s fairly inexpensive for a bottle of some, especially considering just how many eyelashes you can make with one tube)An old makeup brush (Mine had really stiff bristles so I would never use it because it poked my face all the time.

Using the other eyelash as a guide, draw a line of eyelash glue. Take a little bit of the makeup brush and snip it off at the base. Spread it out carefully with your fingers and place the cut edge into the glue. Cut off excess glue strip.

How to Make Goo (aka Slime, Gak, or Flubber)
Making goo (also known as slime, gak, or flubber) is a simple process. You only need three ingredients, and this recipe results in a weird, stretchy substance that entertains kids for quite awhile. This is a fun experiment for kids of all ages -- I found the recipe at Steve Spangler science.
